Different centuries, same badass attitude.
I was mesmerized by this bronze sculpture by Kehinde Wiley, BOUND, on a recent visit to the Brooklyn Museum.

In addition to #USAGM, #Trump's order also targeted the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service [#FMCS], the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars [#WilsonCenter], the Institute of #Museum & #Library Services [#IMLS], the US Interagency Council on #Homelessness [#USICH], the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund [#CDFIfund], & the Minority Business Development Agency [#MBDA] for cuts.
Trump moves to gut more agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries, clean energy and National Monuments
Trump has signed an executive order seeking to eliminate several additional federal agencies, including one that oversees the federally funded media outlet 
️Voice of America (VOA), 
testing the limits of his authoritative power as he seeks to shrink the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy.
One order signed Friday night calls for the agencies
— some of which are focused on #minority business enterprises, #museum and #library services and #homelessness prevention
— to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.”
It also instructs the heads of agencies to “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law,”
and submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget director #Russell #Vought confirming full compliance within seven days.
A second executive order revoked 19 executive actions signed by President Joe Biden that promoted #clean #energy and environmental goals.
The order terminates proclamations of #national #monuments created by Biden
and ends the use of the Defense Production Act to expand the U.S. manufacturing of clean energy technology
(including mandates for electric heat pumps and #solar #panels),
among other Biden-era policies

The Skiff La Yole 1875 Renoir The National Gallery London England
This sunlit scene on the river Seine is typical of the imagery that has come to characterise Impressionism, and Renoir includes several familiar Impressionist motifs such as fashionably dressed women, a rowing boat, a sail boat, and a steam train crossing a bridge.

Relatedly: if anyone you know needs some extra help with equitable evaluation or research projects (data collection, analysis, study design) or strategic planning, I'd greatly appreciate contacts or connections!
My website has a sampling of my previous collaborators - mostly in the glam and nonprofit sector. I'm most proud + humbled that I learned from and worked with the Equitable Evaluation Initiative, and I'd like to put that to work!

It seems there was once in San Diego's Gaslamp district a "Philippine Library & Museum", now it seems to be closed.
Does anyone know more about it?
